Ethical AI โ€” Bias, Deepfakes & Regulation

AI bias, privacy, deepfakes, EU AI Act, complete revision โ€” UPSC & PSC exams.

โš–๏ธ Ethical Concerns in AI

  • AI Bias โ€” systematic errors due to biased training data; facial recognition less accurate for dark-skinned people; hiring algorithms discriminating against women
  • Privacy โ€” AI surveillance; facial recognition in public spaces; data collection without consent
  • Job Displacement โ€” AI automating jobs in manufacturing, data entry, customer service; estimated 85 million jobs displaced by 2025 (WEF)
  • Deepfakes โ€” AI-generated fake videos/audio; political misinformation; fraud; non-consensual intimate images
  • Autonomous Weapons โ€” AI-powered weapons without human control (LAWS โ€” Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems)
  • Explainability โ€” AI “black box” โ€” decisions not explainable; critical in healthcare, justice

โš–๏ธ AI Regulation

  • EU AI Act (2024) โ€” world’s first comprehensive AI regulation; classifies AI by risk level; bans social scoring, real-time biometric surveillance
  • India’s IT Rules 2021 (amended 2023) โ€” platforms must remove deepfakes within 24 hours
  • India’s AI governance framework โ€” under development; NITI Aayog leading
  • Responsible AI โ€” principles: fairness, transparency, accountability, privacy, safety
